Does anyone apart from me collect autographs of football players?
Here we can discuss:
-Sending SASE's or SAE's
-The best signers
-Sending Q&A's
-Who doesn't sign
-And much more
Please reply to make this topic big.

Before you send off, make sure you look at the list of football clubs that send sec autos, so you dont waste your stamps

Could someone make a list of football clubs that sign? In fact, I'll make a list, and I'll edit it using people's contributions.
Does Sign
Doesn't Sign
Unsure
Please contribute to which teams sign and which don't.

Impossible list, as a lot comes down to players not clubs...

It would be impossible to list out all the players who sign/ don't sign; however, there is a list of the EPL players that don't sign:

You will need to sign up first.

I have a question. I know you can email the PR Dept of Liverpool FC and they'll send you pre-printed autos you request. I've done it once, does anyone know if they only send once? Like, if I send them another request, will they not reply since I've sent once? Just wondering because I wanted to ask for a couple more club cards and I didn't know if they would accept my second request or not.

You can get 3 profiles per season (that's what they told me). So, you can still ask them for 2 more. I've already received 2 profiles this season (Gerrard & Kuyt).
Luckily last season I got 7 profiles (Gerrard, Torres, Alonso, Reina, Carra, Riise, Hyypia) -

They're all sent in 3 different packages. When I asked for the 4th time, they told me that they only allowed to send me max 3 packages.
This season, I asked them if the policy of 3 packages is still applied. The answer was the rule now is 3 profiles per season.

I did some research and made this for the premiership.
Arsenal: Francesc Fabregas + Manuel Almunia + Robin Van Persie (rare) + Theo Walcott (rare) sign, the rest don't sign
Aston Villa: Most players do sign, some of the substitutes don't, they also send a factfile sheet
Blackburn Rovers: Nearly every player signs and even pays postage, they do not answer questionaires
Bolton Wanderers: They don't sign to my knowledge, I think there has only been a few successes from them in the past
Chelsea: Most of the players and the managers sign, they do not send their own pictures though
Everton: Very hit and miss. Sometimes send PPs, sometimes send authentics.
Fulham: They don't sign. They do send preprints via email though, of the whole team.
Hull City: Most of the players do sign. They can take some time though.
Liverpool: Steven Gerrard + Rafael Benitez are the only signers. For the rest, they send preprints via email.
Manchester City: Robinho + Richards + Wright-Phillips sign. Most of the others don't.
Manchester United: They all sign and even pay postage.
Middlesbrough: Hit and miss. Afonso Alves is a good signer.
Newcastle United: They all sign, but you have to pay postage by sending an SASE.
Portsmouth: Hit and miss. They do take alot of time to reply though.
Stoke City: They all sign, but don't send the pictures.
Sunderland: Hit and miss. Not many feedbacks to make a verdict on.
Tottenham: Preprints via email. Either SECs or authentics via TTM (hit and miss).
West Brom: Don't sign to my knowledge.
West Ham: Gianfranco Zola known to send stamps. Most are hit and miss.
Wigan: Most of the players do sign.

That list has so many mistakes it would take me over 5 minutes to correct

I dont know where you did this research, in fact nearly all the clubs you've listed, you've made errors, sometimes BIG errors. If you're going to make a post like that you should double check things before posting.
